Blue progress bar no longer showing after clicking on download icon in Firefox
Some months ago, Firefox stopped displaying the blue progress bar that would normally show once you clicked on the download icon. You still see the usual file info but now the progress bar of the download is gray instead of blue and is extremely hard to see. You have to look closely but in the first screenshot you can see where the shade of gray of the progress bar changes, just under the "6" of the "x86" part of the file name. But if you click on the "show all downloads" link, then the blue progress bar will show as usual for any in-progress downloads in the Library window, as shown in the second screenshot.
It isn't a huge issue but is still annoying when you just want to quickly see the progress of downloads in Firefox. I haven't changed any of the colors in Firefox or in Windows for that matter, I'm currently running Windows 10. All other dialog boxes, windows, etc. all display normally on my system. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem and hopefully a future update can take care of it.
Thanks very much!

I'm still seeing a good color contrast on both the system theme and dark theme (with a smaller file, though). It looks like gray is used when the download is paused (third part of screenshot attached).
Your screenshot doesn't say that the download is paused, but I wonder whether the gray indicates that it is stalled, i.e., not proceeding? On the other hand, if the Ctrl+J Show All Downloads list has the blue bar, then maybe that's not intentional. I think someone will need to dig into the mismatch further.
Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
Thanks for the replies. The download was not paused in the first screenshot, it was progressing normally. And I started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and that made no difference, still have the gray download progress bar instead of blue.
